This is delicious! I used semi-sweet chocolate and instead of hot water and instant coffee I used freshly brewed coffee. Since I normally use skim milk I also substituted part of the milk with 5% cream. Made for ZWT Family Picks

This was a really easy recipe to follow and was even better because I love chocolate and coffee and it is usually hard to decide whether or not to have a hot chocolate or a coffee in the morning but this way I get both :) I will have this again! Made for the ZWT4. Thanks :)

Delicious! I absolutely loved this hot chocolate. I used "Baker's" semi-sweet chocolate which I melted in the microwave until it was just soft. I added the sugar, salt, cinnamon, coffee, & 1/4 c. hot water, stirring until mixed. I heated the milk & remaining water in a pot on the stove until hot. I whisked the chocolate mixture into the milk mixture until blended. I removed the pot from the heat and added the vanilla. This was enjoyed with my morning bagel and is a wonderful way to get my chocolate fix & coffee fix at the same time. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe...it is definitely a keeper!

I did a half serve & only used half the amount of sugar required but I did use bittersweet chocolate which probably helped sweeten it a bit. I did mine in the microwave same as Pneuma but I left the salt out. What a yummy & decadent treat. Made for ZWT 4.

Wow, this is so warm and so good! It's a first for me to put salt in coffee/hot chocolate but it did work here. Tastes similar to Spiced Brazilian Mocha but not as sweet. I zipped them in the microwave and having experienced before burning chocolate as is, I melted it along with the milk then later on the hot water. Just my preference. Thanks for sharing! Made for WZT4.
